Title: Click Price Anyone know where i can get a good deal on line??
Post by: pinkvisla1 on March 21, 2014, 12:05:12 pm
Purchased some click last year smallish bottle and it cost alot, i can't remeber but about £50/£60 is that correct, from our local animal Health/Farm supplies???

Need some more soon, is there an online retailer that i could use???

just trying to save a bit, but if this is correct price then i will get it from them again, had a fright with Fly strike last year want to make sure ive got everything covered.

Just dagged and clicked them so covered now for 16 weeks?

I can confirm that sadly, often vets have to pay more for drugs coming in from wholesalers such as Henry Schien than the like of Mole Valley are able to sell it for. One box I had from from M.V. actually said H. Schien on the side! That's buying power for you.

Can I just warn you to be careful if you treat animals with fly prevention before shearing, I can't remember how long but there is a period after using it before you can shear. The shearers don't want it on there skin nor the equipment as it can cause reactions

Unless they are wool sheders

Memories fading but wasn’t the consensus last year that Crovect was a better all rounder than Click and if so this might be a better buy for Pinkvisla1 http://www.greenscountrystore.co.uk/?mod=2 (http://www.greenscountrystore.co.uk/?mod=2) as Zakthelad suggested?  If you’re paying P&P then you might want to compare  this Irish crowd I use

For that very reason I spray mine with some lemon citrus stuff before shearing. Someone on here mentioned it last year. You dilute it with water and a little goes a long way. It does need to be done weekly but if you don't have many sheep its easy enough. Once the fleece has started to grow after shearing they get click'd
